Synopsis

After an arrest for illegal street racing, teen outsider Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) moves to Japan to avoid jail time. Living with his father in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo, Sean discovers the clandestine world of Japanese drift racing, in which brash young drivers compete in a deadly combination of brutal speed and terrifying hairpin turns. When he loses a race to the “Drift King,” Sean’s foray into this daredevil underground sport puts him in dangerous proximity of Tokyo’s notorious criminal underworld, raising the stakes to life and death. www.thefastandthefurious.com
